:and plots of ground have been bought for the nation (of public buildings. Part of the Russian troops stationed in the Crimea Wave been embarked on board the squadron com manded by Admiral GRBIG, for the purpose of being conveyed to the mouth of the Phasis, and employed in the Persian war. Lieutenant General WORON ZOFF, one of the Russian Plenipotentiaries at Aker mann, has set off with all speed for the Crimea, to hasten the departure of these reinforcements. The French Papers are still full of TA LAI A . The famous Surgeon, DLIPRUYTEN, has addressed a letter to the Editor of the Etoile, on the subject of the re fusal to admit the Archbishop of Paris to the bed side of the patient, the object of which seems to be to prove that this exclusion was the act of M. AMADEE . TALM A, and net from any objection on the part of TALM A himself to receive him. Mr. CANNING had a private audience of the King of FRANCE on the 24th, and took his leave of his MAJESTY. The French Stock Exchange appears to have been what is technically called in a fidgetty state. The Fiv e per Cents. had declined to 98f. 75c., but left off at 99f. 10e. ; and the Three per Cents. at 68f. 70c. Extracts of the Papers are given in another Column. In another column we have given a Decree of the Council of State of Geneva, relative to the admission and residence of Foreigners in the Canton. Private letters have been received from Bogota to the 10th August, but they do not contain any intelli zence of importance, later than that which we published yesterday from the Bogota Papers of the 4th. There are no accounts of dollars having been'shipped from th e coast. It is not surprising that the services of Lord 'COCHRANE to the Greek cause have been lost, by the conduct of the persons intrusted with the " sinews of w ar" for it in this country. The accounts in the French Papers leave no room tee doubt that his Lordship, tired with waiting for yes !ell and munitions of war, which, though faithfully Pr° ll lisd, would never have arrived, and disgusted Probably with the accounts which at length reached him from his friends in this country, of the actual state of things, has retired to Switzerland, to soothe, in do- Theat ie life, file anxious cares which must have racked is mind while suffering under a state of suspense. That tlte value of Grecian Bonds should have fallen is rAtitural consequence of this determination of his Xoidship ; and the only surprise, indeed, is, that they should now bear any price—for hopeless, alas, is the lot of the holders ! Their hopes, indeed, never rested Cllt any very solid foundation, for under no circumstances, 'would Greece have been able to bear the burthen of loa ns of which such small portions ever reached her treas ury ,. But lamentable to individuals as is the re sult of the conduct of persons managing Greek affairs i n this country, still it is nothing when compared with t he misery which that conduct has brought on un happy Greece. Encouraged by hopes never to be real ise& her most gallant sons have perished in a struggle, the hopelessness of which would have long sin ce induced them to accept of terms from their op reasuts, but for the delusive promises of succour, which induced them to persevere in it. Thousands of lives h ave been destroyed by the effects of the pecuniary frauds committed in this country under the plea of 436i atence to Greece ; and a state of things has been Produced which may lead to the utter extermination o f her peopl e from the soil of their forefathers. What might not h ave b een effected by these gallant people had they received the promised support ? Wit leas their heroism at Missolonghi ! And what might nut even at the twelfth hour have been accomplished u nder the direction of Lord CocunANE, had the " mana gers an d directors of the tragedy played their part faithfully in the last scene ? The alarm occasioned by the the u i, a tue of Lord C OCHRANE , an d at hi s arr i va l i n a Greci an sew, th oug h a l one i n a sma ll yacht, was . st f re sege of w h at wou l d have been done had his enter se been ca ll e d i nto action by the arrival of means. . 1 e last die, however, d has now been thrown, and the fate of G reece decide perh a p s f or ages . The lamp of liberty glimmers over the land which lighted it, and darkness hovers around the spot which might have again shone forth resplendent-- but for the demons of ava rice which have extinguished the fire. sacred It will be seen by the Return of the Prices of C, published in last night's Gazett e , that the aveornrage pri ce o f w h eat i s nearly 565. per quarter ; of barley, 37 e. 4d. ; and of oats, 28s. 6d. It appears also, by the Corn Exchange report of yesterday, that prices e re generally on the advance. This is in the face of the importation already *Unwed o f certa i n d escr i pt i ons of grain and pulse, and °f the strong probability that the Ports will, on the meetin g of Parliament, be opened generally for the ad nliesion of corn at all times, on paying a regulated duty! Here, then, is at once a justification of the steps taken by Ministers, and an answer to those P e rsons wh o pretend to see in the alteration of the earn Lawsthe complete overthrow of the agricultural interests. I f the Ministers had not taken the responsibility Which t hey so properly incurred, where would have t een the price of grain at this time ? It would have reached a point which would have brought distress and misery on three-fourths of the lower classes of the community, and would have thrown into the poor houses or on the poor books, thousands who now are able, though with difficulty, to struggle against the iron hand of poverty. That it is just to assume, that unless partial impor tation had been allowed, prices would have reached an exorbitant height, no man will doubt, who observes the number of foreign ships which daily arrive with corn, or will take the trouble to inspect the returns of the grain entered inwards; with:importation going on in some descriptions of grain to this extent, prices have nearly or quite recovered the small effect which the first impulse of the Order in Council occasioned, and are above those which may be considered a fair remunerating price to the growers of corn. With a duty such as has' been imposed on the Corn now admitting to our ports, none of the serious evils contemplated from the unlimited permission to import Corn can arise : for at that point at which a profit to the importer ceases, at that point importation will cease also. The effect, therefore, will not be to depress prices to a ruinous degree, but to equalize them at all times--and thus to obviate the evils occasioned by the extraordinary variations which have taken place in the last few years in the price of all descriptions of Grain. These fluctuations have not been less injurious to the Landowners and Farmers themselves than to the Public at large, and any measure which will prevent the recurrence of such fluctuations, must be in the aggre gate beneficial to the Nation. The experience we have already had of the effect of importation, goes far to establish this opinion, and while we attribute to si nister views the reports which have been circulated within these few days of the intention of Ministers to postpone the question of th e C orn L aws, we feel a confident expectation that it will be immediately en tered upon on the commencement of the Sessions, and that his Majesty's Government will not be deterred by any opposition which they may meet with, from carry ing through Parliament a measure no less called for by the voice of the Nation, than founded in justice and fraught with benefit to the Community at large. Nothing operates so much against the prosecution of offenders to justice, as the grievous delay occasion ed by the dilatory, and often partial mode, of conduct ing business before Grand Juries—we mean the in tolerable waste of time by the prosecutors and wit nesses having to dance attendance for three days, and sometimes a week, in the avenues of the Grand Jury room, before their case is called on for hearing. This delay, amounting frequently to a denial of justice, must be attributable to one of two causes—a prepond derance of business, or negligence in disposing of it. If it be attributable to the first cause, the remedy is obvious—have two Grand Juries instead of one ; and, if it be occasioned by neglect, let the nuisance be abated, but let not the public time be sacrificed un- Iscessarily and improvidently that rogues may prosper— " Or wretches hang, that Jurymen may dine." Let the march of Justice be unimpeded—and the conviction of the offender prompt—that punishment may speedily follow the commission of the crime. There is nothing like plain honest straight forward conduct, showing neither favour nor affection, but letting mercy always preside over the scales of doubt. People generally are not aware of the bitter truth of the " Law's delay," but let them once be robbed, and have the additional misfortune of catching the robber, and they will be edified to their cost. Let us trace the progress of a thief and an honest man who has been robbed of his watch, before the robber is con victed, and the honest man does not recover his watch —for stolen property is too good to be restored. The honest man is robbed of his watch in the street by two thieves—who fly with 'the booty—he pursues them, and overtakes the thief who has not the property—the receiver escapes with it. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, and he hurries to a constable with his bootless prize. A night is lost in the watchhouse, and next day is consumed in stating the case at a police-office, where the case is remanded for a week, to afford time for securing the runaway and the pro perty. The accomplice is taken, but the officers know --- the time of d a y t oo - well to look for the wat c h. Well, the prisoners are committed to Newgate, and the poor man is bound over to prosecute that day five weeks, under a penalty of ten times the value of his watch. The day of doom arrives, but not so the day of jkistice His case may have been the first committed for the Sessions, but it nay so happen—does too often hap pen, to be the last case called before the Grand Jury. And why ? Because the Gr:md Jury are the best judges in their own affairs, and pick and choose cases according to their own fancy, and our hero's case is perhaps called on the last. Well, he has thus an op portunity of studying the practice of the law at the expence of a pair of shoes on the stone stairs of the Old Bailey, and the cost out of rocket (for the time half a dozen witn esses t b o ein t g he at r l o e h as h t2 ry of supporting and capture, for four or five days. se cu w to a r te 's h, bu a s n in d ess 'Would not this wear out the patience of Job in the the h a c s o toi: good a dozen times again, but pursuit of justice ?

However much We then repeat, that the access to act for the benefit of themselves in particular. justice should be free and inviting. Th e manner ' of conducting business at the incipient stages should not be so repulsive as to deter men from appearing at a police-Office in the first instance ; but the brutality sometimes experienced at such places is enough to make people dread the con tamination. If it be inconvenient for a large county to provide two Grand Juries, let not the one Grand Jury put the whole county to expense and inconveni ence by requiring the attendance of all the witnesses on the first day of the Sessions, when only a few cases can be disposed of. Why not give notice to the par ties to appear on the day their case will be presented to the Grand Jury ? The business might be easily so arranged that a party would only lose one day in attending the Grand Jury, and another at the trial. If systematic regularity be necessary in other concerns of life, whynot extend its beneficial influence to the practice of our Courts ofJustice ? The beauty of order is pro verbial, and the result of orderly conduct too manifest to require commendation. Let any one witness the hubbub and confusion at our sessions for the first few days, and he will see the truth of our observations. Indeed, we at present feel practically the grievance which we reprobate, for we have 'been deprived three days of two persons belonging to our office, who have waited at the Middlesex SesSiOni, to give evidence against a prisoner who robbed the house, and their case has not yet been called on ! Why not have sum moned them for the foUrth or fifth day, instead of compelling an useless attendance for three days ? The hardship of the cast might be greatly increased, if they had to attend from the extreme borders of the county. But we have said enough to show the pernicious tendency of the present sys tem, which, in its operation, generally amounts to a denial of justice. The remedy is easy, and the cause of justice demands that it be promptly adopted. The consequences will be an encouragement to prose cute criminals by a ready satisfaction to the sufferer--a great saving of expence to the county—and an im provement of public morals, while the public interests, are protected by the conviction and exemplary punish ment of the guilty. Extract of a letter from New York, dated Sept. 29, 1826 :—" The beautiful frigate Hellas, built by Messrs. Le Roy, Bayard, and Co., for the service of Greece, is on the point of sailing for her destination. A finer ship has never put to sea. Although her size is about 2,200 tons, with thirty-two long 32-pounders on her first deck, and thirty-two 42-pounders on the other deck, she is fully calculated to fight any 74-gun ship. So perfect is her construction, in every respect, that, at a distance, she may be supposed to be a small ordinary frigate." THE FUNDS. CITY, Twelve a' Cinch.

BY EXPRESS. A statement appeared in the British TrateUrn not many aye since, that the working classes of Manchester were very de sirous of holding a public meeting, but that in consequence of their extreme poverty, they could not club sufficient amongst them to pay the expences of a room, or buy the necessary quantity of parchment to contain their petition and signatures. It seems how ever, that the resources of the operatives had been under-rated by the Correspondent of the British Traveller; for early this week a notice, addressed to the working classes and others, ap peared, informing them that a Public Meeting of the body would be held in the Manor Court Room, to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament for a repeal of the Corn Laws ; a reduction of taxation ; and also to discuss the favourite question of Parliamen tary Reform ; to devise some more effective system of Represen tion ; to preve n t the waste of public money, and the recurrence of bankruptcy and ruin, which were now devastating the country, and threatened to reduce England, their once free and happy England, to the condition of the poorest and most despotic coun try in the world !" This notice had its due effect, for long before the &ore were opened, the avenues leading to the Manor Court Hoorn were crowded to excess, by the very lowest of the rabble.— When the doors were opened, the room was almost immediately filled. A table, with a kind of rostrum placed on it, had been provided fo r th e " C i ceron i an operatives," "rho were to address the less tal en t e d port i on o f their community ; and a quarter business was commenc e d b y before eight o' c l oc k, man--conseder e d uces , et vu lgi stante corona, electing a chair- Mr. Ertsev was called to the Chair, and his stentorian lungs especially qualified him to preside over the aseembly. The Chair man told them he would do his best, and more could not be re quired of him ; and he informed those persons who felt inclined to disturb the harmony of the meeting, that he would allow no personalities', no calling of names ! that the Reformers did not want such persons amongst them, therefore they had better go home—(Applause)---bence much confusion was created by a per son named Clarke, attempting to address the meeting, without r proposing any resolut i on, Novae, at length compeueu to amid ,• he seemed very indignant at the ex istence of torn I aws, but Mora so at having such an adsthbly summoned to meet by CandiMiglii in an obscure garret ; after sortie Cite silenee was obtained, and a: Mr. MURRAY, in proposing the first ResolutiVii; addressed the meeting as fond:iv:l :- - ---Fellow-labourers and felloW-cilized, I ant very sorry that any interruption should take place amongst the doctrines of the country have caliet:*.t together, and there fore the most perfect harmony should exist t us.—(Ap plause.)—With respect to the time and place, I shall offel et few observations ; we hate all our daily avocations, we are employed in the services of our respective rtiertthi and we have appointed this hour, and this place, as the best adapted, itiirt our daily avo cations were over, 7 4This explanation seemed to satisfy the Meet ing.)—The resdlution which„l shall read to you, will, I am afire' meet with your support.—(The Resolution w,as expressive of the dissatisfaction of the rneetin,z;, that in the 12th Oar of peace, the manufacturers should be atript of their property, and that pi!oiler ism, the prolific source of religiiins and political events, should de • vastate the ebtir4i 4 l, all waste its energiee;)—This (said the Speaker) is a self-evident propelitloli; It needs no logic nor argu ment to support it.—(No, no!)—The GdiEltE ?lei proclaimed if, and I can bear witness to it myself; for my master, 1& Wheise honourable and industrious character I have such a high respect, has had 30,000/. swept away, by the deluge of misery and misfor tune which has covered tie land. Gentlemen, the Corn Laws I reckon one of the chief causes of our suffering'- ... Elie misery which exists from their operation is unbounded—not a lane, tiof tt street, not an alley, but brings evidence of its existence; the beggat 0110 goes from door to door, to the King upon his Throne, feels its pressure, and perhaps there are among you many who feel the truth of this, whose stomachs are in unison with the words I now express. We should feel grateful for the liberal stints which haVe been subscribed for our relief—but for which we certainly should have perished. I feel I nth becoming tiresome to you.—(Yes, yes, enough.)---I shall only add, that our sufferings hare taught the working classes some practical lessons of political economy, and will in a short time make them all real philosophers ! The Resolution was seconded by Mr. Baooas, and passed unanimously. Mr. DROOLS next rose, be enlarged on the injustice and mono poly of the Landholders, *lto lint starred and persecuted the la bouring classes, and then called them " poor devils," by way of commiseration, and poor devils we are (said this Demosthenes) if we do not oppose our oppressors by just and constitutional mea sures, and weary them out of their injustice. It was the mechanic who sprung up when the energies of the country were nearly ex hausted, and saved it by his ingenuity and industry—and shall this mechanic be supported by the subscription of London boxers? (who lately subscribed for his relief), fellows, with whom he would not be seen in the street : but, said the Speaker, when the petitions are prepared, do not play shilly, shnlly, and care no more about them afterwards—to have your petitions succeed, you must feel interested in their success, and I am convinced, some crisis must approach, unless our exertions avert it —No Father would wish to see this country fall as Prance did—if there were such a person in the assembly, he pitied him, but still exertions must be used or some fatal crisis must arrive. The mechanics will be starved if they continue in this country, for the Landholder, who wishes to provide handsomely for his sons, with an hundred acres each, compels the fanner and other labouring classes to work, and yet will not give them the opportunity of exchanging their goods for foreign productions, lest the interchange, might upset the monopoly of the Landholders.—(Applause.)—Mr. Henry Hunt (immense cheering) had lately proved that he had not for gotten them ; though persecuted he was not overcome.—(Ap plause.) -14e proved that the labouring classes were duped by the rascality of fellows, who could not see farther than their noses • but let the mechanic and farmer be united, and they m us t succeed.: They must however come to the root of the tree ; the branches must in time follow its decay. (This speaker sat down amidst much applause, and was listened to with marked atten tion.) The next resolution was for the reduction of taxation. Mr. Wirxxtrca expressed his disapprobation of the Breael-tax law, which was carried at the mouth of the eannon and the bayonet ; and shall the labouring classes quietly submit to this horrid enactment ? No, no ; if you go to Dover you buy a quan tity of bread for twopence, which you can get at Calais for half the price, and yet you dare not bring it across for fear of the ex ciseman. The speaker had a large loaf made when he visited France, but when he brought it across the water, the exciseman immediately claimed it as his property, and bore it off in triumph. —(Laughter.) Mr. Hon(lntim—Some say the working classes should not petition Parliament, as it is sheer impudence in them to do so— others say their petitions will have no effect, because Mini sters are determined to confine the present system of things ; but let them remember what Lord Liverpool said on the late Queen's trial, " Be just and fear not ;" and yet he threw up his Bill after a vain attempt to pass it.—(Great too, shod tears on the occasion ; but he would not undertake to say whether crocodiles, tears or not ; and my Lord Castlereagh was implicated in this business, and this was one act of his life, and they had since heard of another.—(Applause.) —lle would not violate the property of another, but a remedy must he ap plied, and whether Cobbett, or Eldon, or Lord John Russell re commend it, if the remedy be good, it ought to be adopted. The Duke of Devonshire went lately to Russia ; he carried with him a ton and a half of plate, and yet there were British citizens perish ing for want (instances. of which the speaker related), and we have thousands thus squandered in profusion to support mere pa geintry.—(Much disapprobation.)—This speaker next adverted to the expences which the Royal residence cost, and said that such sums would astonish any hut an Englishman, in whose ears mil lions were continually tolled. In the reign of Qnsen Ann, 1701, the taxes were five millions per annum. England had just con cluded a war with France, in which she had been successful. But now the taxes are eleven times that sum, part of which are direct, and part indirect, viz. taken imperceptibly, or by legerdemain. The speaker here specified the peculiar articles which were taxed, and wished that any of theta gentlemen who voted and imposed the taxes were sent amongst the old women at tea-time, to collect the duties upon their favourite beverage, as he was convinced the shower of kettles, pitchers, tongs, &c. would prove to him how popular this impost was.— (Much laughter and applause.)—The speaker admired Mr. Can. ning's eloquence, but his trip to France reminded him of a cir cumetance which took place at his own house this week : a pedlar came into the neighbourhood, to mend kettlee, bellows, &c., he came to his house, and having obtained his bellows, which want ed repairs, he told him, on inquiry, that the cost would be tri fling; but when the job was completed he was obliged to pay this pedlar a shilling for what was not worth threepence, as he could not obtain his bellows without making the payment. Shortly after this act of extortion, the same pedlar returned to ask for a cup of broth, which had been preparing while he was employed at his job. "Moister," said he, " please to gie' me a little o' your broth." To which, I need not tell you, my friends, I did not consent. Now, Mr. Canning has gone amongst the French, whose old bellows (the Bourbons) we have been repairing at a very high price, and blowing, too, as we pleased, and I believe Mr. Canning will receive the same answer from the French as tl , e pedlar did from me.—(Much laughter.)—The speaker relate.! several anecdotes, and sat down amidst general end continued ap plause—having spoken, we believe, for more than an hour. Third Resolution, the purport of which was, that the Crown lands and enormous surplus revenues of the Church should be either applied to their original purposes, or else sold to liquidate part of the National Debt. Mr. DK Rocniu spoke on this resolution ; for a considerable time he commented on the original intention of tithes. lie also entered very utiutely into the state of the Irish church, and con cluded a long speech by proposing such a reduction in the expen diture of the country, and such an appropriation of its revenues to legitimate objects, as shall insure to its inhabitants their national benefits. This Resolution was carried with three times three. The next Resolution was the necessity of Radical Reform, Uni versal Suffrage, and Election by Ballot. Mr. FORMER. rose to propose this resolution.—He observed that there was much said about the ignorance of the lower orders, but let it be remembered that the present evils are not their work, i t was the " Collective wisdom " which brought the country into presen t circumstances, " the wiaebeads," the Solomon, o f IL% 'L ar d." it Much had been said about Mr. Pitt, some supposed him to he the pilot, who weathered the storm, but he thought him th e pilot who steered the vessel into her difficulties, and when she was en her beam-ends, left her, having run away in a wooden jacket. E ar l Chatham was a Reformer ; Earl Grey is a Reformer ; and hi n Pitt commenced by professing to be a Reformer ; but when be got his spoon into the political apple-pie, he forgot his early professions. Castlereagh commenced by being a Reformer, he changed from this to hole-digging, and his end proved that he was a proficient in his newly adopted employments. Mr. Robinson endeavoured to abuse the Reformers, in consequence of the prosperity of 1824, but was that prosperity permanent? did not the fictitious prosperity en d, as they had predicted it • would ?

PATTEN seconded the Resolution, and it was carried with tirreamatioAs. The next Resolution was proposed by a Mr. flows en, at an adVanced hone of the night. This speaker had commenced a discuesion on the principles of society, but he was called on, for his resolution, which contained an invitation to the Catholics to join tile' 14eformers in their endeavours to obtain the benefits of the British Constitution, and the real rights of British citizen ship. An amendment was proposed to this resolution by another siteatff, who considered that several n umerous c l asses i n soc i ety were as much degraded as the Catholics, and his amendment, " pepposing to call upon all sects, creeds and parties to aid them, was carried unanimously. Ii wits then agreed that a Petition, founded on these rat/t/tiOnti, should be presented to the houses of Lords and Com mons ; List Petition to the House of Lords to be entrusted to Lord King; that to the House of Commons to Joseph Hume, Esq. It was propOsed at one title to present their Petition merely to the King, procedure, and also as th ey anti cipated this was subsequently overruled, as much benefit did no t i n a t trarthig th ell is mode fro t o b f e new Parliament.

Mr. Ar,r.zi - stated, that the prisoner had offered the note in payment to a Jew salesman in Rosemary-lane. The latter had presented it to the Bank, where it was recognized as one of the stolen parcel. He had told two different stories to the Jew and his son, as to his obtaining possession of it. They suspected and took him before the Lord Mayor, where he accounted for its pos- - session more suspiciously. He stated that he had sold a writing; desk to a strange man in Holborn, and that he was a carpenter liK ing at Chelsea ; that he had sold all hi► things, and was return ing into the country.

ELECTION of AN ALDERMAN FOR LIME STREET WARD.--This morning . a Wardmote was held, for the purpose of electing an Alderman for the ward of Lime -street, in the room of George Bridges, Esq., resigned. At eleven o'clock precisely the Lord Mayor took the chair. Mr. D. Price moved that Mr. Charles Farebrother be nominated to the vacant gown, which was carried unanimously. DEATH OF .ALDERMAN MAGNAY.—Sow con siderable sensation was excited in the City, yesterday afternoon, in consequence of the reported death of Alderman Magnay. We have made inquiries, and, from the rumour current, it appears, that, about three weeks since, the Worthy Alderman was thrown , out of his chaise, severely bruised, and confined for some time. Having, however, incautiously ventured out earlier than prudent., he caught cold, and inflammation having ensued, the Alderman breathed his last, at an early hour, yesterday morning. The worthy Alderman was very far advanced in years, being upward.% of 70 years of age. He has left. a wife, and we Understand, an less than fourteen children, ten of whom are at home. He had been Alderman of the Ward of Vintry for eighteen years, and has recently filled the office of Lord Mayor. The Alderman was very much respected in the Ward to which he be longed. One of his daughters was recently married to the son of Sir Charles Flower. The melancholy event has produced much sorrow in the Vintry Ward, as the Alderman bore the character of an excellent man among his fellow-eititeos. He was in town last week, and returned to his seat at Wandsworth. His disorder then took an unfavourable turn, and his family have now to regret the loss of a kind and affectionate father, and hia friends the loss of an esteemed and highly respectable citizen. It is reported, that Mr. Sheriff Winchester intends to canvass the Ward, for the vacant Gown ; but we rather apprehend that the Ward have their worthy Deputy in view. THE MARKETS.
